we made most of ours from thrift store buys and old crap from the closet. Its more fun making something unique. If you lack the patience, have your camp...or start one yourselves; a clothing swap/party. Or just have a party and see whose clothes you end up home in and worry about playa wear later.

Haha, well I'm gonna fail in your eyes then. I've worked hard to make my night coat, and since it's my main form of illumination I'm going to be in it every night I'm there. Come to think of it, I love my coat. How dare you try and part me from my coat.

My day playawear is basically shoes, underwear thats very very bright, and a belt or scarf. My night clothes I am still working on but I have enough fleece to make very warm thermals as backup incase my thin thermals don't work.

BTW how dirty will white get on the playa? I assume extremely dirty. I'm thinking of getting white fur boot covers so I don't have to worry about coordinating them with outfits and just saying screw the dirt and dust. I can go with black but I'm trying to keep black out of my outfits at the Playa and force myself into bright things I might not normally wear. If I'm trying new things, I might as well take the full leap. I even bought pink.

In that case you'll have to come hang out all day, every day, lol.

I think that the playa dusty faded look is perfect, or almost necessary, for the desert

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave

This sounds like a good way to go for day wear.
I'm planning a similar attire for the day, except around camp either bare foot or sandals!

The eternal BM question is, Do you go practical or whimsical? Striped tights, tutu and corset look sooo cool, but will I be miserable in the brutal desert for days on end like this? I see both types in pictures, but not sure which I should be.

I find corsets too restricting. I'm always lifting something big or climbing art pieces and the like and a corset never stays in the right place. Out of bodice experiences are much better when it's not a bearded six foot five guy falling out of his garment.

What I do love is a good flamenco dress with my knee high New Rock platform boots. Definition of sexy man
